Returning to the big screen are Gobo, Wembley, Mokey, Boober, and Red. Remember the Fraggle Rock crew? The live-action feature musical now in the works will have them leave their cave home and meet -- gasp! -- humans they think are aliens.

They love watching "Fraggle Rock" on DVD with us. We also got seasons 1 and 2 of "The Gummy Bears" cartoon on NetFlix and the loved it! Right now we don't have cable so their only option is PBS. They love "Big, Big World", "Mister Rogers", and "Sesame Street". Our favorite movies are "The Secret Garden", "Enchanted" and "PeeWee's Big Adventure".

My son loves Spongebob-- and I think it's really fun, too! It is encouraging him to read in the sense that I ask him which episode he wants to watch based on the titles (we watch on DVD). I think the world would be rather dreary place with a bit of Spongebob. It's currently the only TV series our son watches. Since we have so little time for TV, we couldn't watch Electric company and a Sponge Bob-- so I'm happy for our routine of Sponge Bob then a little book reading.

I loved Fraggle Rock when I was growing up. Maybe the kids would love it to. The only TV channel that our kids watch is PBS Sprout. Since we only watch non-violent shows when the kids are around... we pretty much watch PBS Sprout too.

I find SpongeBob violent and it is not watched in our house anymore. Although I grew up with Tom and Jerry and Wile Coyote and such like with no ill-effects, my husband says that violence does affect him so my TV viewing has changed radically in the last year and especially in the last six months. If it is violent, it can not be watched in front of the kids and only in front of the husband if it is not too violent.

I am too young for Electric Company, but I LOVED Fraggle Rock as a child. I didn't know it was on DVD! I must buy it! Oh, and I don't have any children. But, I can't let that stop me from reliving my chilhood!

Yes - most definitely. My daughter grew up with Between the Lions (and learned so much) but when I found the Best of the Electric Company online, I had to buy it. She loved it just as much. She is now 8 but will occasionally put in a DVD and listen to the shows as she does her thing.

I suppose it depends on the kids and their exposure to different pop cultural icons, but for my language loving kid, Electric Company was a hit!
